The Commission calculated that the number of seats to be allocated to the West Midlands region will decrease by 2, from 59 to 57.^[7] Initial proposals were published on 8 June 2021 and, following two periods of public consultation, revised proposals were published on 8 November 2022. Final proposals will be published by 1 July 2023.

Under the revised proposals, the following constituencies for the region would come into effect at the next general election:^[8]
